Smooth, comfortable ride

The thing that stands out the most to me is how smooth this vehicle rides. It is surprisingly spacious and the stow and go seats are very good to have. Also, it has the features I was looking for (climate control, back-up camera, blue-tooth, etc.). Would recommend as a good vehicle for a young family.

The Pacifica is the best overall mini van

The Pacifica Limited had more features than the competitors. It meets our families needs with unparalleled style, comfort and luxury. We were not specifically looking for a van but after driving several SUV's and vans, we landed on the Pacifica and have had no regrets. Can't beat the option packed Pacifica Limited.

Minor issues

Overall this is a superb vehicle however I can't charge my phone because the plug doesn't work and it only came with one good key fob so I have to use the replacement fob which is sometimes not detected by the car.

Lots of Room & Great Value

This van met our needs and exceeded our expectations in terms of features, e.g., the entertainement features, Uconnect, power everything, back-up camera, etc. It also boasts plenty of leg room and makes it easy access to three car seats for our little ones. Best of all, it drives like a car.

This car has no: spare tire, no compact disc, no?

I bought a car protection to help me if I get a flat tire. I know installing a Compact Disc player will void my car warranty. Yes no Spare not even a donut! On trips to mountains I get a radio station or just noise, yes in 2017 this is well!! It cost the factory only a few dollars to keep the CD Player. But the Factory and dealer thinks it is old fashioned to provide CD Player.

Work horse

Best minivan out there

Sleek design and a powerful 4.6L V6 make it a joy to own. Single friends with no kids comment on how nice it is and how they now want a minivan! The passing speed of the van is enough to set passenger back in thei seats scratching their heads wondering if they?re in a minivan or a mustang. The stow and go from captains chairs are a breeze to use. And, when not stowed, provide sons of additional storage for long trips. The rear bench seats fold flat in seconds. With all seats stowed the van opens up into a mini cargo moving van. My only complaint is that the 9-speed transmission has two flaws. The first; from a stop it?s either incredibly slow or too fast. There is no happy medium. Otherwise the transmission fumbles a bit. Which is the second flaw, there are times that the transmission gets confused and shifts awkwardly. All told, one of the best vehicles I?ve ever owned (this joins the line up of Silverados, BMWs, and sports cars.

2017 Pacifica is the worst new car I have owned

I have just over 13,000 miles on this vehicle and it has been in the shop for more than 30 days for a myriad of problems, from defects, failures to a long list of recalls. The most significant has been the continuing transmission problems that have plagued this vehicle from very early on after the purchase.

Smoothest riding car I?ve ever owned.

The Pacifica is such a smooth ring car even on bumpy roads. I?ve always driven a mini van and this one is a dream. Also very quiet. I love the safety features on the outside rear view mirrors warning of cars in blind spot and the backup camera. The only negative is the electrical outlet is positioned way down low and forward in the center council in a cubby tray meant to hold misc items. It?s awkward and difficult to reach to plug in my GPS device.

Best looking minivan on the market.

I looked and looked for a minivan. They were all the same until I found my pacifica. The car has great pick up and is still roomy and safe.
